Hey guys. I'm brigning you a question on something different. I build snowskates, single level boards. Single levels are made out of wood (like a skateboard) or plastic. I'm all set for my wooden snowskates but I'm having the same problem every company has had with plastic snowskates.
When they're brand new, they ride great. But in no time, the board looses it's shape. (Tail becomes flatter and flatter.)
Here is what I was thinking. If I used a fiberglass layer on top of the snowskate, what would it change?
I'm trying to keep the same board feel (flexibility) but I want the board to keep it's shape.
What would you suggest?

I was talking about plastic snowskates. These are completly made out of plastic. Problem is that the plastic tends to loose its tail/nose curvature with time (as you always put pressure downards on them to perform tricks). I am simply wondering how I could make the board keep their shape longer without altering the flex.
